Riyadh luxury hotel to open this summer
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. LLC has announced plans to continue its expansion in the Middle East by opening its first hotel in Saudi Arabia. The 493-room Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh is slated to open this summer in that capital city’s diplomatic quarter, on a site that’s adjacent to the King Abdul Aziz Conference Centre.
Designed by Oger International, The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh was originally envisioned as a royal guest palace for visiting dignitaries and heads of state. The hotel’s architecture is modeled on traditional palaces and elegant Arabian residences.
“This majestic hotel's prime location in the literal heart of the Arabian Peninsula, luxury accommodations, variety of dining and meeting facilities, combined with The Ritz-Carlton renowned service, will produce memorable stays for all our corporate and diplomatic guests," says Herve Humler, Ritz-Carlton’s president and chief operations officer.
The new hotel will join eight other Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts currently operating or under development in the Middle East, including locales in Bahrain, Dubai, Sharm El Sheikh, Doha, Sharq Village, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Cairo.
